Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor are fighting it out to grab the plum role opposite badshah Shah Rukh Khan in Rohit Shetty's next action film, says a Mumbai Mirror report.
The report said, Rohit Shetty has approached Katrina Kaif for his next action film starring SRK, but Katrina will have to fight it out with Kareena Kapoor, a Rohit Shetty favourite, the report said.
A source close to Rohit said, Katrina Kaif is at an all time career high.Currently,she is working with the three biggest Khans - Shah Rukh,Salman and Aamir.
Rohit Shettys action film that goes on floors in May next year will be her fourth consecutive film with a Khan. It seems Katrina is fast becoming to SRK, what Kajol was to the badshah earlier.
Though,Katrina would surely set a record if she bags the role in question,it wouldn't come easy.According to another source,Kareena Kapoor, too is in the running to be cast opposite her G.One.
Kareena has worked with SRK in Asoka and RA.One. She shares a good on-screen chemistry with him.
Also,director Rohit Shetty is very fond of her.She has been his chosen one for the successful Golmaal franchise.She is the obvious choice for the project, said the source.
Despite Kareena being a strong contender, a section of the industry believes that Katrina's friendship with Rohit Shetty might just pay off.
Katrina is working with SRK in Yash Chopra's film.She has become good friends with the actor as well.
Rohit Shetty,on the other hand who was earlier planning to remake the 1982 comedy with SRK,had decided to cast Kareena in the same.After RA.One,when SRK decided to continue with the action genre,Shetty dropped his plans to remake Angoor.
When Rohit decided to make an action film with Shah Rukh,he decided to change his heroine as well.
Earlier he wanted Kareena to portray the role played by Moushumi Chatterjee in the original Angoor.But with the change in the script,he decided upon Katrina Kaif, revealed Rohits friend.A source close to Kareena said she is very keen to work with Rohit again.And Rohit too will want his successful heroine back.
